137 - Arthur I. Miller [140]
no one went to bed before 1 a.m.: Heisenberg to Karl and Helen Heisenberg, June 15, 1922, quoted from Cassidy (1992), p. 128.
“far exceeds my abilities”: CSP, Volume II, p. 1073.
“It was given by Nature herself without our agency”: Sommerfeld (1923), p. 237. In atoms with one electron in their outer shell—such as hydrogen and sodium—each of their spectral lines is split into two, called doublets. In atoms with two electrons in their outer shells, each line is split into three—triplets. Scientists only discovered the reason for this when spin was postulated.
“a revelation”: Einstein to Sommerfeld, February 8, 1916, in Hermann (1968), p. 40.
“than your beautiful work”: Bohr to Sommerfeld, March 1916, in Hoyer (1981), Volume 2, p. 603. See Kragh (2003) for further historical details concerning the fine structure constant.
or would be dramatically different: Barrow (2003), pp. 154–156.
“thinking about the anomalous Zeeman effect”: CSP, Volume II, p. 1073.
Chapter 3 • The Philosopher's Stone
retrieve and develop these inferior functions: See Jung (1921), pp. 563–565; and CW18, pp. 16–18.
“off the beaten track and rather silly”: MDR, p. 230.
“those old acquaintances of mine”: MDR, pp 230–231.
then return to Silberer’s and Wilhelm’s books: Freud’s staunch refusal even to entertain Silberer’s ideas on alchemy drove Silberer to suicide in 1923.
“psychology of the unconscious”: MDR, p. 231.
when alchemy was at its height: MDR, p. 231.
“Don’t waste your time”: Interview with Aniela Jaffé by Ean Beg, July 27, 1975, presented on BBC; quoted from Bair (2004), p. 379. Jung appointed Aniela Jaffé secretary of the institute. In 1931 she had started a degree in psychology at the University of Hamburg but was forced to flee and went to Zürich. After undergoing analysis with Jung, she became intensely interested in his analytic psychology and wrote many papers on it. In 1955 she became his personal secretary and collaborator. She screened his incoming correspondence as well as informed him of interesting ideas in letters addressed to her. She was an indirect path to Jung, of which Pauli often availed himself.
Chapter 4 • Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
“I feel myself so unwell”: Pauli to Bohr, December 12, 1923: PLC1 [43].
Surely it was all tied together: Pauli (1946), p. 168.
“We will see what you can do”: Interview with Heisenberg by T. S. Kuhn, AHQP, November 30, 1962, p. 5.
“Success sanctifies the means”: Heisenberg to Pauli, November 19, 1921: PLC1 [16].
“with a tear in my eye”: Pauli to Sommerfeld, June 6, 1923: PLC1 [37].
“unsightly” and “monstrous”: The quotations are from Pauli to Alfred Landé, December 14, 1923: PLC1 [51]; and Pauli to Kramers, December 19, 1923: PLC1 [52], p. 135.
“I am deeply insulted by it”: Pauli to Bohr, February 11, 1924: PLC1 [54].
“do it again with halves”: Pauli to Bohr, February 21, 1924: PLC1 [56].
“we have to create something fundamentally new”: Pauli to Landé, August 17, 1923: PLC1 [42].
“no taste at all for this sort of theoretical physics”: Pauli to Bohr, February 21, 1924: PLC1 [54].
“too difficult”: Pauli to Bohr, February 11, 1924: PLC1 [54].
“particularly if they are women”: Pauli to Wentzel, December 5, 1926: PLC1 [149].
“without love, indeed without humanity”: Pauli to Rosbaud, December 13,
1955: PLC6 [2214].
“in my relations with women”: P/J [69P], October 23, 1956.
Hamburg welcomed her with open arms: Sauvage (1949), pp. 124, 131–132.
“outbursts of ecstasy and visions”: P/J [30P], May 24, 1934.
hoping she was gone forever: This is based on P/J [69P], October 23, 1956; Pauli to Rosenbaud, December 13, 1955: PLC6 [2214]; and Pauli to Fierz, March 2, 1956: PCL6 [2253].
